Page

Within the chapters of life's book,
  We live one page at a time
 Each page, a memory on which to look
 With sad times, and times with a happy chime

 Many chapters of family and friends
 For love still echoes there,
 Memorable moments, and the joy laughter lends,
 and stories of which to share

 For some the book is ending,
 For others its just begun
 The final chapter can be heartrending,
 Fo then, the book is done....

"We live one page at a time," and "for some, the book is ending," but "for others, its just begun." There's so much truth in this statement. Your thoughts caress softly around me and my heart. This is beautiful and tender, all at the same time. Hugs, Brandy
